How to Make Recycled Crayons

Gather broken, forgotten crayons and transform them into colorful new treasures that fit perfectly in the hands of even the smallest artists.

--WHAT YOU'LL NEED--

mini muffin pan
wax crayons in assorted colors
oven

--STEP 1--

Remove paper wrappers from crayons then break them into small pieces. Tip: Use scented or glitter crayons for a fun twist.

--STEP 2--

Place crayon pieces in the muffin pan, filling each circle at least half full. Try grouping color families together or create a rainbow all in one

--STEP 3--

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until wax has completely melted. Remove pan from oven and allow to cool completely

--STEP 4--

Once crayons have fully cooled, flip pan over and firmly tap each circle. If some of the crayons don't pop out easily, just place the pan in the freezer for 10-15 minutes then try again.
